  • Beware Milestones
    DECIDE: How to Manage the Risk in Your Decision Making Beware milestones Having convinced you to improve your measurement of what really matters in your organisation so that you can make better decisions, I must provide a word of caution. Sometimes when we introduce new measures we actually hurt decision making. Take the effect that milestones have on people. Milestones as the name infers are solid markers of progress on a journey. You have either made the milestone or you have fallen short. There is no better example of the effect of milestones on decision making than from sport. Take the game of cricket. If you don’t know cricket all you need to focus in on is one number, 100. That number represents a century of runs by a batsman in one innings and is a massive milestone. Careers are judged on the number of centuries a batsman scores. A batsman plays the game to score runs by hitting a ball sent toward him at varying speeds of up to 100.2 miles per hour (161.3 kilometres per hour) by a bowler from 22 yards (20 metres) away. The 100.2 mph delivery, officially the fastest ball ever recorded, was delivered by Shoaib Akhtar of Pakistan. Shoaib was nicknamed the Rawalpindi Express! Needless to say, scoring runs is not dead easy. A great batting average in cricket at the highest levels is 40 plus and you are among the elite when you have an average over 50. Then there is Australia’s great Don Bradman who had an average of 99.94 with his next nearest rivals being South Africa’s Graeme Pollock with 60.97 and England’s Herb Sutcliffe with 60.63.

  • Demographics, Wealth, and Global Imbalances in the Twenty-First Century
    Demographics, Wealth, and Global Imbalances in the Twenty-First Century § Adrien Auclert∗ Hannes Malmbergy Frédéric Martenetz Matthew Rognlie August 2021 Abstract We use a sufficient statistic approach to quantify the general equilibrium effects of population aging on wealth accumulation, expected asset returns, and global im- balances. Combining population forecasts with household survey data from 25 coun- tries, we measure the compositional effect of aging: how a changing age distribution affects wealth-to-GDP, holding the age profiles of assets and labor income fixed. In a baseline overlapping generations model this statistic, in conjunction with cross- sectional information and two standard macro parameters, pins down general equi- librium outcomes. Since the compositional effect is positive, large, and heterogeneous across countries, our model predicts that population aging will increase wealth-to- GDP ratios, lower asset returns, and widen global imbalances through the twenty-first century. These conclusions extend to a richer model in which bequests, individual savings, and the tax-and-transfer system all respond to demographic change. ∗Stanford University, NBER and CEPR.

  • DENNIS AMISS Dennis Played in 50 Tests Averaging Over 46 Scoring 11
    DENNIS AMISS Dennis played in 50 Tests averaging over 46 scoring 11 centuries with 262* being his highest score. In ODI’s he averaged 47 with 137 his top score. In all First Class cricket he scored over 43000 runs at an average of 43 and is on the elite list of players who have scored a century of 100’s. He also took 18 wickets. Dennis played his first game for Warwickshire in July, 1960 against Surrey at the Oval. He did not bat. In fact he watched Horner and Ibadulla share an unbroken partnership of 377 for the first wicket. In the next few years he learnt a lot about the game from Tiger Smith, Tom Dollery, and Derief Taylor, whose work as a coach has gained him a legendary reputation at Edgbaston. From 1966 he became an established player in the number three position, and was easily top of the Warwickshire averages, at 54.78 During that season Amiss played in three Test matches but success eluded him. The Australians came over in 1968, and he played in the first Test at Old Trafford. He had an unhappy game, and bagged a pair The disaster at Old Trafford may well have affected his confidence. The period from 1969 until mid-June 1972 was one of comparatively modest achievement. The summer of 1972 was a turning point for Dennis. Alan Smith, the Warwickshire captain, had six contenders for the five places available for specialist batsmen. Amiss, unable to strike form in the early weeks of the season, had to be left out of the side.
